Looking at my Skype client, it would seem that a Meeting can be convened in
the same way as Jitsi and the participants don't need a Skype Account. (They
may be asked for an email address though.)

Can anyone say if the browser and plugin is actually needed? If not then I
would suggest that Jitsi is preferable because it is self-hosted and Open
Source.
If the browser and plugin is needed then I would still say that we still use
Jitsi because of the above advantages. The only downside would be if anyone
is totally anti Google.
